Harbor Springs Trail Report – 02/26

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club​ – 02/26

Trail conditions are VERY icy!

All of the trails on the east side were groomed last night and a few on the west side. The snow is all fluff so there wasn’t much to work with but we did the best we could.

Our piston bully slid backwards down a hill & off into the ditch just across melody lane headed to Moose Jaw (Trail 721). We had to leave the drag there, we tried to clean up what we could but the hill was far too icy to fix anything. Please use caution when approaching that area!

Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 02/25

SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 02/25

Wow! What a difference it makes when there is snow in the northern lower and across the UP!

Just got back from a ride to Paradise and the trails were excellent on the way out AND back! The swamp south of Paradise has some water spots and mud, to be expected but their part of 8 and 452 was awesome! Chippewa Snowchasers part of 8 was also awesome, as were our parts of 8 and 889!

Lower traffic and recent snow have things in great shape here in the EUP!

Headed out to groom now. Gotta pay to play! I’ll report when I get back.

Ride safe everyone! ❄️❄️❄️

Pic of one of the 2 groomers we saw out and about from Paradise Area Night Riders . Nice to meet you guys!

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 1/21/26
Good morning! Bryan and his son Logan hit the city trails last night and also 49 down to 7 mile and they turned out great! The little streams behind Kewadin Casino are still flowing (see the video in the comments) even with all of the cold, but our bridges have made a huge difference in there! There is one spot along the Kewadin trail that is soft and we keep filling it in as best we can. Likely a nonissue for the weight of a sled, but worth mentioning.
Thank you Bryan and Logan!!❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0121b #snowphotos

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 1/20/26
Good evening! Brimley Bill brought the Pisten Bully in to the Soo barn from Raco via trail 8 and groomed along the way. After 6”+ of new snow yesterday, the berms at the road crossings needed to be cleared.
He did a great job and the trail is flat, wide, and beautiful tonight!
The Bully is in for a thaw and an oil change and it’ll be back out to Raco tomorrow night.
Thanks Bill! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0120b #snowphotos
